Yes, my dearest, longest, lasting, high school friend, Keith. He gets the blame. After my post about being released from my YW calling, he had the nerve to post a comment abut 6 years was long enough and I should get back to Primary. How dare he!
I got a calling yesterday...in Primary. We are not amused.
No idea what age yet...but I was called to teach in Primary and to be a 'mentor teacher' to a young single adult sister who is making her way back in the Gospel. She will be my teaching partner, and I'm to teach her how to teach as much as I am to teach the kiddos. The mentoring part is much more interesting to me (at this point of the game) than the kids.
The Lord has a pretty demented sense of humor sometimes. He knows I am not much good with little people--beyond making faces in the checkout line at the grocery store, where the kid is looking at me but too scared to make noise. I like holding little babies--when they are asleep and smell good. But preschoolers and Primary kids hold little interest for me.
Anyone remember how many times I had to call my mom when my own kids were younger and cry to her that "someone in this house will not make it to kindergarten alive"? I'm not good with little people.
The Boy, on the other hand, and Genius Golfer are both great with small people. They would ROCK this calling.
But I will nonetheless be obedient and thankful this isn't a job like a General Authority where you have it until you die. I guess the Library ladies at church are that way too. But this is a transition position. And I will do the best I can, but I probably won't like it. Just so you know.
And its all Keith's fault.
